The Xuvellas came to the '''Republic of Venice''' in the 1630s (most likely refugees). They settled in the west end of the island of Korčula (back then referred to as Curzola). Residency was set up in a small field called Rasohatica (then called Rasohatija).

Three male names come up in my research that are '''not recorded''' as being born on Korčula (not registered ''via'' church records of births): '''Antonio''', '''Matteo''' <ref> according to one of the '''Žuvela''' family tree Antonio (Ante) '''Jnr''' was '''born 1651''' and is the son of Matteo. '''Matteo''' Xuvella is not part of the Žuvela Korčula family trees as being born on the island, this may indicate him as a '''migrant''' arrival.</ref> and '''Cosma'''<ref>Info obtain via Zvonko Maricich's work. He writes  ''"…. or Ivan Zuvela son of the late Kuzme 22nd of December 1672"''. Referenced from 'Vela Luka od 1490 do 1834' by Zvonko Maričić, page 168. Ivan in Venetian Italian is Giovanni and Kuzme in Venetian Italian is Cosma. Ivan (Giovanni) was a witness to a contract being signed in 1672 and his father was Kuzme (Cosma Xuvella).  '''Cosma''' Xuvella is not part of the Žuvela Korčula family trees as being born on the island, this may indicate him as a migrant arrival.</ref>.

====Are all Zuvelas descended from these individuals ?====

One has to ask, is it possible that the Zuvela families are all descended from the individuals mentioned above? It’s most likely true. We may also be looking at the original residents of Rasohatica!

Importantly the early Zuvelas in economic terms were no time wasters (wealth might have been brought with them). A Mr Antonio Xuvella in the 1640s was an owner of no less than 211 sheep. The Xuvellas moved to the near by village of Blato (then called Blatta) and bought, acquired houses and properties there, later properties bought in and around the bay of Vela Luka (Vallegrande).

For many centuries Romance Latin language called Dalmatian and the old Croatian Chakavian language were the norm on the island <ref>Smiciklas, ''CD'' V, (p237); N. Klaic, ''Povijest Hrvata u Razvijenom'', (p130): ''"In 1262 the Venetian praised the Slavs and Latins on the island of Korcula for submitting to the prince Venice had sent."''
